KÉRASTASE Chroma Respect Color-Protecting Shampoo — 16.9 oz for Sensitized/Damaged Color-Treated Hair, Hydrating & Sulfate-Free

This hydrating shampoo is formulated for sensitized or damaged color-treated hair, especially fine to medium textures. Enriched with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, amino acids and Centella Asiatica, the formula cleanses without stripping salon color while improving moisture retention and reducing porosity. Free from sulfates, silicones and parabens, it aims to preserve color intensity and add shine with everyday use.

How does this shampoo protect my color between salon visits?

The Chroma Respect blend focuses on gentle cleansing and moisture balance so color molecules remain sealed and reflective. By avoiding harsh sulfates and adding hydrating actives, it reduces the fading that happens when hair becomes porous or dry.

• Formulated without sulfates to limit color-stripping suds.
• Hyaluronic acid and glycerin help hold moisture and smooth the hair surface.
• Amino acids support fiber strength to reduce cuticle lifting.
• Centella Asiatica soothes sensitized scalp and hair structure.

Will it work on fine to medium hair without weighing it down?

The texture is designed to clean and hydrate lightweightly, keeping fine to medium strands bouncy rather than heavy. Active ingredients are chosen to provide moisture and protection while maintaining natural movement and volume.

• Lightweight moisturizing agents avoid residue build-up.
• Balanced formula preserves body and natural texture.
• Rinses cleanly to prevent limp, greasy-looking hair.

What improvements can I expect in my hair's feel and appearance?

Regular use aims to reduce surface porosity and increase shine so color looks fresher and hair feels smoother. Users often notice softer strands, better manageability, and a more uniform reflectivity across colored sections.

• Reduced porosity for even color reflection.
• Improved softness and detangling for easier styling.
• Enhanced gloss and visible vibrancy retention.

How should I use it for best results?

Apply to wet hair, gently lathering from roots to ends, then rinse and follow with a color-protecting conditioner or mask for added nourishment. For sensitized hair, repeat only if necessary; finish with a dedicated KÉRASTASE Chroma Absolute conditioner to optimize protection.

• Wet hair thoroughly and apply a quarter-to-palm-sized amount.
• Massage gently focusing on scalp and mid-lengths, then rinse.
• Use with Chroma Absolute conditioner or mask for maximum protection.
